The Mets aren't attempting to dispel the surgery rumors or that he could miss anywhere from six weeks to the rest of the season, and now he's scheduled to see a specialist about the hip in the next few days.

“I am, that’s just the way I see it,” Manuel said. “He tried a number of things to get ready, to get some comfort, but could never find it. I don’t anticipate this being a 15-day thing in my opinion. I could be wrong. Hopefully I am wrong.”

“Right now we’re looking at it as a 15-day situation,” Bernazard said. “Once he goes to the doctor we’ll know a lot more.” source NJ.com
